See the table below to configure the subnet mask and gateway

Configure Subnet Task and Gateway Field
This field Specifies Configure by doing the following
Subnet Mask The processor’s subnet mask.
The subnet mask is used to interpret IP
addresses when the internet is divided
into subnets.

If your network is not divided into subnets, then leave the subnet mask
field at the default. If you change the default and need to reset it, type
0.0.0.0.

provides a connection to another IP
network.
This field is required when you
communicate with other devices not on a
local subnet.
Enter an address of the following form:

The default address is No Gateway.
